Those piano bar guys have the darkest senses of humor. My parents took a cruise through a hurricane once (no, really), and in the middle of the action the piano player decided it was the perfect time to play the theme from The Poseidon Adventure.

yes, Just Some Guy, it was in the paper; it was a cover story for Tropic, I think. And it MAY be posted on the "Stuff" page at davebarry.com; I have a friend who loves that column so I think I posted it there.

I once represented some folks suing Whorewegian Cruise Lines, for deciding it would be a good idea to take a boatload of passengers through the middle of Hurricane Eduardo, instead of incurring more dockage and wharfage fees in the comfort of New York harbor.

We were going for class action certification, since the passengers were, literally, all in the same boat.

Remember Y2K? When all the electricity was supposed to go out and the computers were to blindly attack us?
My older daughter went out on a cruise boat out of Daytona that New Years Eve.
She reported that half the passengers went to the west side of the boat at midnight to watch the lights of Daytona go out forever.
The other half were terrified that without electricity, the boat would sink.
I believe there was a lot of drinking going on.
